What travelers are saying
- Erico2709Singapore, Singapore2,393 contributionsThis place is packed with lots of tourists. But there is good crowd control to force tourists to go up the stairs in one direction and exit out another to keep orderly control. Nice to go in the evening when all the lights are up.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christopher S4 contributionsThis was my first time ever going to the fabric market and it can be very overwhelming, especially not speaking Chinese. However, on the second floor (store #244) we ran in Kelly and May. She spoke perfect English and understood exactly what I wanted. I usually don’t like traditional suits. I like more trendy looks. Baggier fits. And Kelly understood that perfectly. I had a jacket and matching pants made and was very happy with the results. She also offered to do free alterations if I find anything wrong with it as I wear it more.
She is so kind and friendly and made the whole experience very easy, efficient, and comfortable. Like being with an old friend. If you are ever in Shanghai and want something made or even just altered, then I insist going to Kelly and May. She speaks English very well, cares a lot about the quality of her work, and for a very good price considering I know have a compete custom, tailor-made suit that I can easily get altered.
I will definitely be back to the fabric market thanks to her. It is a great option if you are tired of fast fashion and want pieces that are going to last and don’t cost an extortionate amount of money.Written May 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You should go with an empty stomach if you want to try and taste everything along the way.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sneziShanghai, China6 contributionsThe pearl tower is and always will be, my favourite cute building in Shanghai. Avoid to visit him on Chinese holidays. But if you don’t mind long waiting lines, go for itWritten March 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David W9 contributionsArrived as part of a tour group. Many signs are in English and Chinese. Reading the main signs on entry to each gallery sets the scene. As you approach some exhibits their lights come on so you can study them in more detail.
Beautiful building with circular roof and square walls – yin and yang. I also liked the subtlety of the staircase an one side was mirrored by the escalator on the other side of the atrium.Written April 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Martin ASuzhou, China3,120 contributionsFor lots of foreigners in Shanghai, this is the place to go. It still looks French and there is an international feel as there are restaurants from all over the place. So many restaurants. So much great food. It's a great place to walk and a great place to eat!Written February 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Allan L205 contributionsA great shopping road if you have money to spend. But also just a great people watching road. Has a nice atmosphere at night and well worth walking along the road at night.Written April 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erico2709Singapore, Singapore2,393 contributionsIf you are looking for interesting food other than Chinese food, this is a good place to start. Even if not for meals, taking a stroll and taking in the architecture is just as pleasant.Written April 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter Jackson1 contributionA lot of things changed during COVID-19 Pandemic, but not the extraordinary service provided by Heping Fandian's team! Heping Hotel has been my favorite hotel in China since 2018. I met Zoey, their talented and excellent front desk operator who helped me a lot during my stay. China is changing rapidly since last I was there. Zoey was kind and informative. She made my visit in China much more easier. The room she gave me have impeccable street view. It always makes me want to extend my stay.Written June 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chester K4 contributionsNice collection of interesting posters since the founding of the country in 1949. Worth it if you are interested in seeing relics of the country from the past.
30min is plenty as the place is not big. It's located on an upper floor of a bank/commercial building. Has a shop for some memorabilia.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

At times can be quite confusing as the alleys are all spread out. Nice little shops along the way but food is not the focus here.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
